> Why they don't offer this in the app is beyond me.

Lesson instructions are even weirder:

When you take the Japanese class in English, you can read the explanations for each lesson in the app. However, when learning French in German, the instructions _only_ exist on the website. If you use the app exclusively, you'll have to guess all the grammatical special cases through trial and error.

This is the difference between Duolingo created content and community created content. The Duolingo courses have a lot more to them in app form. It seems like it is a lazy implementation in the app to me.

I have a over 1000 day streak and I've seen the app change a lot over those 1000+ days. It is heading towards "why am I bothering with this?" territory to be honest. I also do Memrise, and their marketing is just as obnoxious, but the app is actually a lot better at doing the stuff DuoLingo used to focus on IMO.
